Featured Reviews

Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses. It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement
I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The support team is responsive."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"The main advantage I see is the cost, which is currently low."
"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The UEBA capabilities provide valuable user and entity behavior analytics, and the context from Google threat intelligence significantly bolsters threat detection."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"The language used for content creation is very flexible and visually appealing."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."
"It is still not mature enough."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
"The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
